I offer in-person classes at my professional art studio in Courtenay, Vancouver Island, and I also give presentations and workshops at art schools, artist guilds, and other cultural organisations. I am also excited to offer art experiences in a corporate setting for team-building.
Check the Classes menu above for current offerings. I am taking a summer hiatus so things will be ramping up again in September. 🙂
I also offer Private and Semi-Private Lessons, drawing and painting demos, and art talks. If you have a class idea you would like me to offer you or your art group, let me know.

About Val:
“For me, painting is an act of devotion, offering a profound pathway to self-realisation and transformation. Pigments have a consciousness. When I paint, I imbue these materials with the focussed energies of my heart, mind, and gestures of my body. The pigments absorb these energetic frequencies, and project them back out to the viewer. Painting is its own language, beyond words and the limitations of the logical mind.”
A former professional ballet dancer, Val graduated with Honor in Media Arts at Emily Carr University, where she received the Helen Pitt Award. A finalist in the Royal Bank Painting Competition, Val has been painting full-time since 2003, exhibiting for a number of years at Bau-Xi Gallery in Vancouver and Toronto, and Galerie de Bellefeuille in Montreal. She has attended residencies at Vermont Studio Centre and St Georges’ Senior School in Vancouver, and has taught painting at the Shadbolt Arts Centre, Emily Carr University, Vancouver Island School of Art, and since 2009, out of her private painting studio. Her work is in public collections including Canada Council Art Bank, Surrey Art Gallery, Vancouver General Hospital, and many private collections. Val has 1800+ students and five-star reviews for her online painting course with Craftsy.
